Tuesday February 13th, 2018Topic: Chords: Better, Faster, Stronger
7pm Central Time US
You can watch the lesson HERE.
Chord playing is the heartbeat of guitar playing. But many players are stuck knowing only the Basic Open Chords - C-G-D etc. This live lesson will guide you through knowing chords more fully - giving you some new forms and some tips on getting more from the forms you already know.
Plus, I'll be talking about how to speed up changing between chords.
Please download THE CHORDS YOU NEED TO KNOW Chord Charts.
As always, there will be lots of music, laughs, giveaways and more. I look forward to seeing you there!

Bernhard,
Yes, you are exactly correct. I knew that the violin was tuned in fifths. But David said the order in reverse (E-A-D-G) like the bottom four strings of a guitar so it confused me there for a second. So, as you know, when the order is E-A-D-G, those notes are all a fourth from each other. But, in actuality, it's the inverse of that. G-D-A-E which would correctly be in 5ths.
The mystery explained!

I wanted to share a bit about my preparation for this lesson.
David called and gave me about 6 or so songs he wanted to reference tonight.
The songs were "San Antonio Rose" by Bob Wills, "I'll be there" by Johnny Bush, "Faded Love" by Bob Wills, "Wine me Up" by Faron Young, "Slide off Your Satin Sheets" by Johnny Paycheck, "The Other Woman" by Ray Price, and "Pass Me By " by Johnny Rodriguez.
It's been strangely emotional preparing for this live lesson.
Few know this, but when I was growing up in Texas there was only one kind of music playing - country music like these songs.
I quite literally have not listened to these songs since middle school yet I heard them so much around our house then I remember them clearly. It's like opening up a time capsule to then.
See you tonight.

Topic: Fiddle & Guitar Harmonizing with David Varnado
7pm Central Time US
You can watch the lesson HERE.
Well, the topic of this live lesson has shifted around a bit but there's been a quick change in plans.
I'm honored to have Hall of Fame Fiddle Player, David Varnado stopping by. David has played with Vince Gill, the Time Jumpers, Loretta Lynn, Johnny Paycheck, Chris LeDoux and the Grand Old Opry. He plays fiddle (violin), electric mandolin, and guitar. David will be playing a few tunes and showing us his amazing guitar harmonizer that he developed.
This should be a fascinating show, catching a true great as he's passing through Nashville.
There will be music, laughs, giveaways and more. I look forward to seeing you there!

Hmmm.... I'll have to research this a bit.

David,
I will try to discuss and illustrate this on the next live lesson next week.
Great question.

Mr. Handsome,
Start using the Jam Along CD's as soon as you can. They are meant to go along with the concepts that you are learning in the course. Once you can play the song with a degree of competence then start working with the Jam Along Tracks to get used to playing along with the tempo.
You can also check out the Song Hits course I did. The songs in the Song Hits course were meant to go along with each sessions material in the Learn & Master Guitar Course as well.
You can see the Song Hits course here... https://www.learnandmaster.com/songhits/
Hope this helps. Learn all you can!

Wlm,
Both are helpful to know but, for me, the 7th chord arpeggios are more useful in actual playing situations - particularly in a jazz style.
Hope this helps!

Neil,
I'm so glad that the YouTube feed went well. I know that I , (as the channel owner) was able to put links over in the chat on YouTube. But I'll dig around and see if I can figure out how to get links to work for others.

Great questions and answers. Any more questions for Greg?

Ha,
It's in the challenging things that we improve. Never shrink back from a challenge.
You conquer them just like you conquered the easier things. One line at a time. One practice session at a time.
Until, one day, what once looked impossible is now not so hard.
You'll get it.
Keep going.

That looks like the perfect size!
Work with her when you can and the skills will come.
The more skills you can get into a child before the teen years the farther along they will be. If you can get enough basic skills into them before the teen years then they will play the rest of their lives.
